If he Arsenal (+12), who will visit Girona on the last day of the Champions League on Wednesday the 29th at a unified time (9 p.m.)does not overcome the general 'goal-average' of the Barça (+15), a draw at home against the culés will be enough Atalanta to finish second. They could be first if they win and the Liverpool lose in Eindhoven. Therefore, it is most likely that the team Hansi Flick finish second and get rid of Liverpool until a hypothetical final.
His opponent in the round of 16 would not be known until the draw on February 21, but he would be placed in the draw with four possible rivals in the round of 16. The winner of the tie between 15th or 16th and 17th or 18th. If the 'league phase' ended as it is, Bayern Munich y Real Madrid they would each play against Juventus o Celtic. Of those four, Barça's opponent would emerge in the round of 16.
TO SEE THE ENTIRE PICTURE, MOVE TO THE RIGHT ON THE BOTTOM CURSOR
Now, logic indicates that Madrid y Bayern They can climb positions and are not between 15th and 18th place. The whites play in Brest on the last day and the Bavarians receive the Slavic Bratislava.
As for the Atlético de Madridcurrently ranked fifth in the absence of visiting Salzburg, Feyenoord (11º), Lille (12º), Benfica (21st) or Paris Saint-Germain (22nd) would be their opponents in the round of 16, a round in which the colchoneros are not yet mathematically in.
After losing (4-2) against PSG despite winning 0-2, the Manchester City They are now in 25th place, the first of those out of the playoff. Of course, winning at home Club Bruges He will be classified but in no case would he reach 18th place, from which a possible rival for Barça could emerge in the round of 16 if he finishes second.
The 'field factor', only until the second round
He Barça They will play the round of 16 second leg at home like all those in the 'top 8' of the 'league phase' and in the playoff' those who finish from 9th to 16th in the 'league phase'. Starting in the quarterfinals and also in the semifinals, the round-trip order will be determined by draw and will already be defined in the pot on Friday, February 21, the last of this season.
